Equipment

  • pizza stone
  • large bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs pizza dough
  • lbs potatoes 5-6 medium, or 15-18 new potatoes
  • 1 medium yellow onion minced
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp rosemary
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Prepare the pizza dough according to the directions.
  • Slice the potatoes ⅛ inch thick and place in a large bowl with 4 cups of water and 1 tbsp of salt. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 ½ hours. Rinse the potatoes once they're soft and bend a bit. Pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel.
  • Return the dry potatoes to the bowl and toss with olive oil, rosemary, salt, black pepper, onion, and shredded cheese.

Assemble

  • Once the dough is ready, preheat the oven to 500°F/260°C with a pizza stone set in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Shape the pizza on a piece of parchment paper, roughly 12 X 14 inches.
  • Spoon the potato mixture over the top of the dough and spread the potato slices in a thin layer, bringing them to the edge of the dough. It's ok if they overlap a bit. (I left a bit of an edge for these pictures, otherwise it'd look like a big slab of potatoes.)

Bake

  • Slide the pizza and parchment paper onto a pizza peel and into the hot oven. Bake for 15-20  minutes. The pizza is done when the edges of the crust turn golden brown and the potatoes are soft when pierced with a knife.
  • To crisp the potatoes, broil the pizza for 2 minutes.
